fertilizing

Along with dividing my Heliamphora nutans today, I also did my Heliamphora minor X heterodoxa that I got back in late December. It has grown well, but it's not as colorful nor has it developed the nice nectar spoons that it had when I got it...

Sorry if this has been asked before - direct me to the proper thread if it has. Is it beneficial or harmful to fertilize nep cuttings? I've got some planted in 50/50 lfs/perlite. Just wondering at what point they would benefit from this. Can't see when they start growing roots, obviously...

Here is an update on some of my coffee fed Nepenthes. These plants were purchased from CZ Plants in May of 2008. They were all potted up into five inch diameter plastic pots, and were initially grown together in a 16" x 8.25" terrarium. Once the N. rajah outgrew the terrarium it was moved...

Hi everyone....I'm not sure if there is even a answer to this Q but i still have to ask. Aside from fertilizing your neps..You can feed them with bugs right?So it got me thinking if there are certain bugs more "nutritious" too the neps???? My neps usually catch ants but how bout stuff like...

I was out on a walk today, and discovered that a hydroponics store had opened near where I live, and discovered to my joy that they carry Maxsea 16-16-16, which a lot of people seem to be investigating for the purpose of fertilizing their neps. Now, I have a small nep, so I picked a jug of the...

To all who fertilize neps via pitcher, what fertilizer do you use? 20-14-13 Better-Gro Orchid Plus at quarter strength worked well in the soil (minus the algae problem it caused regardless of how much I flushed), but putting the fertilizer into the pitchers, while the results were fantastic...

Hello, Every lover of plants knows the problem: Your collection is getting larger and larger and slowly but gradually you are losing the overview over your treasures. “Where did I get this plant from?” or “How much was it again?” Things like these you forget easily. Many plant lovers used to...

I have a Cephalotus growing on my windowsill, but it's not the healthiest right now. I can't feed it any bugs because it only has a few immature pitchers and non-carnivorous leaves. I would like to apply some fertilizer to the Cephalotus. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, how often do I...

Heres an update on some of my plants. Stenophylla. I started fertilizing this plant with some good results. Splendiana x [(veitchii x maxima) xveitchii] I started fertilizing these too. Anyone know what fern sp lives in New York? Truncata Izumiea basal. That looks about ready to...

These need to be repotted because I put too many seeds in a pot. The seed was started same day/soil/stratification/temp/light/moisture. Can you tell a difference? I can. Have any of you experimented with fertilizing Sarracenia? My opinion is that it works for getting adults faster but...

I found fragments of fertilizing answers but want to ensure I know what I am doing so I do not ruin my collection. I purchased Green Light 20-20-20 all purpose plant food (it is water soluble). First off, I am assuming this is safe to use. Second, how much do I actually want to dilute it...

I got some seed from a giveaway here on TF. I've forgotten who I got them from, but thanks! That pink/red one middle-left is a lot more colorful than the others. I've got about 30+ seedlings now. They are something like 6-8" under two 150W CFLs and took a few months to germinate...

Here are some shots of a few of my Heliamphora, taken as I was fertilizing the lot with 30:10:10 orchid fertilizer, and trimming away some dead winter leaves. Even though the H. ionasii plants below germinated at the same time, about half the pot still remains in a juvenile state. There is...

I don't know if this would work, but could a darlingtonia be fertilized to encourage growth? I know people fertilize VFTs and Sarrs... Here are my cobras that want to improve: By the way, these are the mountain form. :-D Thanks in advance!
